'A TRIUMPH OF DESIRABILITY OVER COMMON SENSE'

Strengths:
It's very light, it obviates the need to carry both. It is titanium so as all outdoor-types know that means it is so good that if Buddha went backpacking he'd carry one. Being titanium also means that it is indestructible, also bulletproof so remember to carry it in a breast pocket in hunting season.

Weaknesses:
It doesn't actually do the job of either very well and it costs far too much. As a spoon it cannot get anything out of the corners of a pan (eating a yogurt is a sort of expensive torture) and as a fork the tines aren't sharp enough to do damage to anything much harder than jelly.

Overall:
Don't get me wrong, I actually love this. It is indestructible and saves on space and weight and is the only bit of titanium I own, but it really is one of those devices that is more about attracting us to buy it than providing us with a life-changing utensil.

'The only utensil you need'

Strengths:
Featherweight combination of 2 utensils into one.

Weaknesses:
UK price.

Overall:
The only utensil you need when lightweight & solo camping. What more can I say about it - get one from the USA!

'FORM OVER FUNCTION'

Strengths:
weighs almost nothing, takes up little room, inherently non stick.

Weaknesses:
too much fork not enough spoon. The tangs cut too far into the spoon shape causing the soup to dribble between them. the spoon shape is also too shallow, limitting the usefulness of this aspect.

Overall:
nice idea for the style conscious weight afficienados but the form limits the practicalities. If I was to buy again I'd opt for the additional weight penalty of just a few grammes more and buy the separate fork and spoon set.

'SPORK?!? WHY NOT 'FOON'?'

Strengths:
It's a spoon.
No, it's a fork.
It's a spoon.
No it's a fork.

Weaknesses:
Not as good as a spoon.
Not as good as a fork.

Overall:
Wickedly light spoon/fork combo. As mentioned above, it's not really deep enough for soup and the tangs mean you can't quite scrape the bottom of the pan/boil bag.

If weight is your thing, this may be the ultimate eating utensil.
